Bingo!!! And you only show those ones to the model, right?
I learned a lot of my studio photography working with one model over the
course of about 10 years. We would sit and pour over contact sheets deciding
what worked and what didn't, both with posing and lighting.
She was a very self confident young woman though. I think most people don't
want to see bad pictures of themselves.
